A leading healthcare organisation in Gaza has condemned the recent detention of nurse Tasneem Marwan Al‑Hamas, describing it as a serious breach of international humanitarian principles. The organisation warned that such actions form part of a broader pattern aimed at crippling the medical sector and intimidating those who deliver essential care amid conflict. The detention, it argued, undermines both the safety of health workers and the survival of patients in one of the world’s most embattled regions.

The statement stressed that the removal of nurses and doctors from their duties threatens the ability of hospitals and clinics to function, leaving communities without critical care. It called for urgent measures to safeguard healthcare professionals working in conflict zones and highlighted the duty of the international community to intervene when medical personnel are targeted. The detention of Al‑Hamas was described as emblematic of a deeper assault on the right to healthcare and on the protection of civilians during war.

The health organisation pledged to pursue the case through all available legal and public channels, urging global media to spotlight such incidents as a matter of urgent concern. It stressed that ensuring the safety of healthcare workers is not only a matter of justice for individuals but a safeguard for public health in areas under siege.
